Sole Survivor (1970 TV Movie)

Based on the B-24 Liberator "Lady Be Good"

[8/10 · 17 November 2005]

I saw this movie when it came out in 1970. It reminded me of the B-24 that went down in 1943. The one thing that I would like to know, is where (if any) I can get a copy of this movie. e-mail me at [e-mail] The movie had a surrealistic twist in it. If I remember correctly, the B-24 was found by a British oil company in the Libian desert. When the plane was found, the USAF sent people from the states and Europe to find out why,when, who was on the plane. About 12-18 months later, the bodies were found. Out of the 11 man crew, one was never found. But the movie was done well.

The current government in Libia has the plane in one of the major cities there and will not give it back, or allow anyone to see it.

You're in the Navy Now (1951)

Have never seen movie, however...

My father did a cruise on the "Teakettle". I would like to know either the hull number or the actual name of the ship that was used in the movie. If anyone has this info. both my father and I would be grateful. He did a cruise down to the V.I. before going to war college, right before Korea,but just right after WW II. I understand we sold it to the Nat. Chinese(?).He had stated to me that it that the rust was the armor on it. LOL It was a PC stationed, when he was on board, at the Washington D.C. Navy yard. He did tell me that when they were on this cruise that a Destoryer was passing fuel to them and the whole ship was "like being on a roller coaster". They made down there, and back. In one piece!! LOL. Thanks,
